Description:

I am in a doctoral training at Yale University in the BBS-Neuroscience program. I am conducting research in impulse control in gambling and behavior in Dr. Marc Potenza's laboratory. During my undergraduate career, I completed an honors thesis in Dr. Cheryl Harding’s lab at Hunter College pertaining to the effects of mold exposure on behavioral and cognitive function. I will be completing a second honors thesis with Dr. Mariann Weierich at Hunter College on age-related differences in default mode network brain activity during emotion processing. My primary research interests are affective and behavioral neurosciences, particularly, neural networks underlying addiction and other neuropsychiatric disorders. I hope to merge my interests in the field of biology, psychology research and education through investigation of the human brain.
